One Handed Entry of Values
You can achieve very fast entry of large collections of distance/bearing of quadrant/distance/bearing values by
simply using the number pad and pressing Enter after each value. This will take you to the next field and
finally add the point when you press Enter on the last field. This will also take you back to the first field to
allow continuously adding points with only one hand, keeping your other hand free to mark your place on the
list of values.
Notes on Bearings
Global Mapper User's Manual
When entering data using the Specify Separate Distance and Bearing Values option, the bearing values are
degrees clockwise from true north, so 0 degrees is north, 90 degrees is east, etc. For the Specify Using
Quadrant/Bearing/Distance option, you specify a quadrant value of 1 to 4, with 1 being the NE quadrant, 2
being the SE quadrant, 3 being the SW quadrant, and 4 being the NW quadrant. The bearing values are then
east of the NS line for quadrants 1 and 2 and west of the NS line for quadrants 3 and 4.
It is also important to remember that any bearing are specified relative to true north (unless you check the Use
Grid Bearings Rather Than Bearing Relative to True North), so if your projection isn't oriented so that
straight up is true north (most projected systems, like UTM, are not unless you are right at the projection
